“Natural Magnuson”
March through April
Artist Reception March 16th, 3 to 5 pm
This series of paintings is inspired by the wetlands and native plants at Magnuson Park. As the old Navy base is repurposed and the wetlands rehabilitated, the native plant life is reclaiming its space in natural history. Some of these paintings are based in reality, and some in my imagination. I am exploring casein and gouache as alternatives to my traditional oil paints, and I’m enjoying the fresh drawing quality I get with this approach.
